[There's the heavy sound of boots on the ground as he moves toward the podium. His coat billows open with his long strides, revealing a blaster strapped to one hip and a Walkman to the other.

He gets up there, and there's a moment's posing pause, one hand splayed atop the podium as he looks out over the piazza, clearly about to ask the most serious and grave of questions.]

What's the best pickup line you've heard, that's worked?

[...What? It's a serious matter to him, okay?]

Oh, I like compliments! [ Any compliments. Why aren't you complimenting him? ]

I also like to use the one where I walk into a room and all the ladies faint, that one is my best I think. Perhaps you could try that?

[Is that a walkman? They don't even have those in America anymore- they still had them in Serbia when he left, but that's besides the point. Country boy, you know...]

My cousin, Roman, he gets a lot of girls by telling them that they are smart and beautiful. But he is also a big softy, a good person, and I think they can tell he has no harm in him. He just wants to make them happy. He doesn't mind them laughing at him.

[ Cue Gisela's lack of surprise this Q&A session was, prior to her arrival, a manfest. ]

Could you define what you mean by "worked" for me first, if you please?

This is my favorite, check this out.

[Penelope approaches POOR, POOR STARLORD and basically forces him, via personal space invasion, a step or two to the side of the podium, which she leans on with one elbow, cocking her hip out to the side. She tosses her hair over her shoulder with her free hand, and makes VERY UNSETTLINGLY DIRECT eye contact with him. It's like she's attempting to intimidate him into being attracted to her, which would be hilarious (because she's like five feet tall in flats) if she weren't actually terrifying.]

Hello. You're hot, and I'm bored. Let's go fuck.

[She relaxes and steps back, shaking out her arms like she's winding down from a workout or something. Back to normal levels of terrifying!]

Now imagine you're at a bar with some bros, half-drunk and bored shitless, desperate for a distraction from how fucking oppressively ordinary your life is, and imagine I have an astonishingly slutty dress on. Works every time.

[ gaila's standing up and at attention right away. not that she needs the help of pick-up lines, but she does find human courtship interesting and has used them for totally scientific purposes. ]

That jacket's very becoming on you. Of course, if I were on you, I'd be coming too.
